The Moon Tale

MOON PHASE - 5

Before I entered the kitchen they started awkwardly laughing. It seemed that they changed the topic after hearing my footstep. But I didn’t pay attention  to it. Because if something needed to inform then they would certainly let me know. So I gave a wide smile to them.

Mom with a smiling face.

“Luna, do you need something?”

I nodded.

“Yeah, just feels a little thirsty. So needs some water. It’s okay, Mah. I’ll have it on my own. You continue your work.”

Then Tita left the kitchen for doing her morning routine.

With jiggling the water bottle playfully in one hand. I went walked straight to the stable. Grandpa owns a horse. He took good care of him very well.

That horse's name was Javier. He was pearly white, flawless, and had dark black eyes and long silky hair. Javier appeared to be quite attractive. I had always admired him. And he had a  extraordinary capacity to detect the presence of people before they approach and this ability  made him sharpens and smartens. 

When I approached the stable, Javier made a mild snorting sound by exhaling the breaths out of his nostrils and began pawing. He was always happy to see me, and his company made me happy.
When I called his name while scrubbing his head, he joyfully lifted his two front legs into the air.

I moved closer to him, placing my palm on his cheek and pressing my head against him. By touching him, I was able to sense his contentment. Perhaps we'd had a deep bond since childhood. It appeared that he was able to speak directly to me some times. I could understand whatever he said simply by touching him. Without a doubt, it made me delighted as well.

Well, Spending time with Javier reminded me of my horseback riding days. As a result, I decided to go on a ride with him. So I began taking steps on his left side, and smart boy had already bent his front legs and leaned forward, anticipating my next move. I sprang quickly, pressing my left foot against the ground, and hopped on his back.

Javier returned to his upright position softly as soon as I climbed up, careful not to cause me to tumble. Ahhhh…, such a gentleman. 

Ahmmnn…. I mean such a sweet horse. Though it's been a year since my last horseback riding, it made me tumbled a bit on his back as I climbed up. So I hugged his neck and slowly tightened my grip on him. He went for a short walk as I was getting ready for the journey. He began racing with the wind as soon as he assured I was all set.
Javier and I proceeded to the farmland behind our residence, which was a little further away from the Hills. That happy horse riding in the sunshine brightens my day so tremendously.

When we returned, I was already dying of starvation, and I realized I hadn't even took a shower yet. Perhaps everyone had their breakfast already, but I saw a few food items were still left on the dining table. I smiled and murmured,

"I love you, Mom."

As she knew that I didn't have my breakfast yet. So she had kept food on the table for me.

Arora was yelling out for me from her room while applying eyeliner to her eyes.

"Hey, Lun. Go get ready faster. We have to leave."

I was about to hold one of the fruits from the  basket,  but Arora made me surprised,

"Leave?  Where we are going?"

Arora answered,

"Oh sorry. I forget to tell. We are going to ‘La Jolla Cove’ today. It was decided when you were on the long walk with Pop yesterday night."
